Lenzing Group has announced the extension of its fiber identification technology to Tencel branded lyocell and modal fibers.
Lenzing’s fiber identification technology provides physical identification of fiber origin at different stages of the textile products, such as the fabric and garment level.
The technology enables full traceability of the fiber, protects it from counterfeiting, and provides assurance to brands and retailers that their products are made from Tencel branded lyocell and modal fibers.
Combining physical and digital traceability allows brands to verify the materials used in their products quickly.
As a result, the tool is becoming a key driver in the textile and fashion industry. Through Lenzing’s partnership with TextileGenesis to launch a blockchain-enabled supply chain traceability platform, in addition to its innovative e-branding service, Lenzing has been at the forefront of digital traceability and has been creating an unprecedented level of traceability.
Lenzing said that fiber identification would be a vital part of the fabric certification process within Lenzing’s e-branding service.
As of November 2021, all fabrics will be tested for fiber identification, enhancing the security of Lenzing’s online services and testing facilities, and increasing transparency and security between value chain partners. By the first half of 2022, additional services for brands and retailers will be integrated into Lenzing E-branding Service.
